3. Take a break

We all need a break sometimes, exposing yourself to constant excessively loud noise will take its toll on your ears. So, take a break from the music for 5 minutes and let your ears have a rest, it will help prevent hearing damage in the long run.

4. Head to Outdoor Festivals

Going to outdoor festivals is much better for your ears than indoor festivals. Indoor concerts mean that the sound is contained within that room and there is no room for it to disperse. Try to stick to outdoor festivals.

5. Have a hearing detox

Give yourself a day of silence and rest your eardrums. You should allow 16 hours of rest for every two hours you are exposed to excessively loud noise.
